Iowa Street appears in the 1872 Hopkins atlas.[1] It is named for the state of Iowa.[2][3] The street passes through land once owned by the Herron family. Several Herron brothers were born in Pittsburgh and moved to Dubuque, Iowa, in the 1850s, including Francis J. Herron (1837–1902), who served as a major general in the Civil War.[4][5]
